Motor Vehicle (Duties and Licences) Bill 2003: Second Stage (Resumed).
The issue of safety measures on non-national roads has been raised. As roads have been improved, it is important that sufficient funds are made available for safety measures. The signpost programme is also important, particularly for the tourism industry. As non-national roads offer access to many scenic areas, it is important that finance is made available for signposting. National speed limits will be reviewed in the near future. I ask the Minister of State to consider reducing the speed limit on national roads in some areas for safety reasons. I wish him well with these proposals.
